With bags of tourist info at reception, clued-up staff, free bikes for guest use, and big, well-maintained rooms sporting a jaunty, fresh blue-and-white theme, the Asty is excellent value. Rooms come with kettles, fridges and TVs. Those at the front have balconies; light sleepers should ask for a room at the back due to road noise.
It's just under 2km from the historic centre, and an easy, straightforward stroll for those who want to walk. The hotel also operates a free shuttle service for guests.
